Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake:Cake, buttercream, white chocolate fondant, modeling chocolate, isomalt

What are you most proud of?The tail fin was the hardest pulled piece on the board. After about the 6th try, I finally had a shape that I loved.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?Hahaha...buy sugar working gloves. They are worth the investment! My fingertips were sensitive for about 3 days, even with layers of heavy latex gloves. Also...a "brooder lamp with guard" can be purchased at your local tractor supply store for about $9 to $15. It has the correct wattage to safely house a restaurant supply heat lamp...if you are building a do it yourself heat lamp table.
